It's time to...
Prune out old stems of elder (Sambucus) to promote new growth from the base- Cut back last year's buddleia stems to ground level
- Hard prune trees that respond to pollarding, such as willows, the foxglove tree (Paulownia) and Eucalyptus gunnii, to promote new growth
- Lift and divide large clumps of hosta
- Trim winter-flowering jasmine and tie in new shoots to supports
- Sprinkle granular fertiliser around clumps of spring bulbs
- Finish pruning roses as soon as possible
- Cut down all previous year's growth on Clematis tangutica. New shoots will develop from the base, which will flower later in summer
